older boy had taken of his BOA and

there they all died, ne probably the

covered with canvas painted as for

ION this canvas could be seen in big
letters:
THE AMoURs ON SARAH BERNHARDT.
Twenty-Five cents a volume"
1t was the advertisement of book
filed with scandalous stories. Mile.
Columbier continues:
AT first, after the meeting, Sarah
was not happy. She spoke of going to
the courts, of libel suits and what not.
But Jarrett threw cold water upon this
indignation by these magic words: DO
not discourage an advertisement
A pretty yarn about Sarah's photo
graphs is then told. The actress had
promised to give Abbey half the money
She got from any photographer for the
sole right to take her picture. Suisse
Quently she forgot all about this, and
promised to give Jarrett half OF the
money realized in this way. Sarony of
fered 1000. The bid was accepted, and
Sarah was photographed by chin. Sa-
rOny did not have the required amount
of cash, so Abbey advanced him the
money, half of which he returned to his
own pocket and the other half went to
Jarrett. Then he compelled Sarony to
give him in work nearly twice as many
pictures as the money would have
bought, and he sold them to good adj
vantage.
''Some days after her landing Sarah
accepted an invitation to dine at Del
monico's, the Cafe Anglais of New
York, with some brokers and other
well-knOwn people.
This dinner was on the morrow told
about. commented upon and discussed
by the papers and by the people. They
spoke about a bachelors dinner, OF

very time the actress sets foot in this
country she finds something to criticise.
She says:
Eat the momentwe are about to reach
the ladder an old woman tries to pass
us. A policeman pushes her back
quickly to make way for Sarah Bern
hardt.
II am told that the woman, whose
name is Mrs. Lincoln, is the widow of a
president of the United States. who died
murdered in the service of his country.
Sarah gets into carriage that takes
her to her hotel. For my part, l have
to begin by assisting in the opening OF
the trunks by the custom house officials,
of whose strictness have often heard
tell.

this subject in very conclusive man.
ner. He opens his trunk and places in
a conspicuous pot an American S. bill.
The custom officer places his hand upon
it as if by accident. When he lifts his
palm the bill has gone. Meanwhile,
with his right hand he puts chalk marks
on the trunks and shouts: Nothing to
declare. Pass
II am in America"
A few nights after their arrival in
New York the Bernhardt and her
friend, Mile. COlumbier, went to the
Park theater to see Clara Morris in
"Alixe." The impressions of that even
ing are put down in black and white as
follows:
at is impossible for the Parisians to
conceive the American star. just i'm
agine woman, who could give points
to Sarah in thinness; angular, having no
more age. and who couldn't have ever
had beauty; youth she may have had, but
it must have been long time since.
Her mouth is black hole. Her teeth
look like old nails stuck in sealing wax.
And vet it is pretended that America is
the country of dentists!
"Wrapped up like mummy, she
wears an angels wig. In dramatic mo-
ments she sObs, her forehead is covered
by her hands. and we see her bOny
fingers putting back into place stray
tufts of the blonde wig.
Her part is that of an ingenue; she is
weighted down with dress of cash
mere once white, but grown gray
through long use, aud buttoning up the
back after the style we were wont to see
on servants in the inns of the last towns
that we passed through on our tour.
"If at least these ridiculous feat
ures were compensated for by the
flashes of genius-if the artistic COM
manded the admiration of her public.
But no. Like her gown, her play is
gray, dull. She neither knows how to
speak nor how to walk. A backwoods
transformer.
ssSuch is the woman the American
newspapers compare on the morrow
with Sarah Bernhardt and give her as
rival,

ing the past week, is destined to creale
as big a stir on this side of the ocean as
did its forerunner, says the New YORK

An amusing preface is written for the
volume by Arsene Houssaye, who says,
among other things:
ssThey say the New World mas no
history it has as yet no other novel
than Irritation. The American has
genius for money-making and for in
SSention; he finds gold in his mountains
and i'm his torrents; he POUNDS towns,
he has the family sentiment, he allows
himself the luxury of children, which
he makes well and makes handsomely,
but he has not the time to devote to the
passions of love. So many Americans
travel, and find there is still some good
in the Old World. The ideal is not to
be found in the country where rules the
gulf of the shocking"

proved to be great success, not only Ill
invigorating and renewing the Inner

ures to the already accumulated arche0-
logical wonders of Minnesota. A mound
was discovered. The party sat down to
partake of the MONDAY meal at the base
of huge pile of earth which had been
religiously deposited In slowly aggregat-
ing quantities until the huge proportions
of an artificial mountain had been ele-
waited high above the surrounding PLAIN.
Trees and various kinds of wild shrub
berry had taken root and were growing
in natural state, giving to the place
much the same appearance as the
neighboring elevations which were the
effect of natural causes.

cigar f. A. Hodge, a prominent real
estate man in Pine City, inadvertently
disturbing, with the toe of his boot,

hoped to reap future speculative bene-

tention of NJ. c. futile, Esq, one of the
solid st. Paul dirt dealers, who was
present with the party, and the search
then began in earnest. The first speci-
men obtained proved to be an ancient
vase, which. from the pieces found, has
